GREAT Riverwalk Hotel!Posted Jul 24, 2016
This hotel was BEAUTIFUL! It is right on the Riverwalk, but on a quiet side of it. Just a VERY short walk around the river to the busy/party/restaurants/boat rides/shopping/etc part of the Riverwalk. ...also about a 7 block walk from the Market. The hotel has a romantic/dimly lit atmosphere. I went with friends, but plan to go back with my husband!

Nice HotelPosted Jul 21, 2016
Enjoyed our stay. Paid for river view room, but had a view of the roof. If you looked to.the way far left you could see the river. Disappointed. Pillows too hard. Would've liked a candle, but wasn't about to pay $38!!

Cons: More decor
Location: A lot to do nearby, but not a huge fan of the street location.
The bathroom was pretty small and the room wasn't really decorated, however, the large full length mirror was nice. One of our rooms had a view of a dumpster so that wasn't very appealing.The bar seemed nice though and I liked the dim lighting of the hotel. The restaurant staff gave us good suggestions for nice, relaxing places on the Riverwalk. Likely won't stay here again, but only because of the purpose of the stay.

Ok just for sleepPosted Jun 22, 2016
I'm not complaining, just I expected more. When we checked in, hotel advise that there was no hot water. We ordered room service one night, the bill was $54.00 for a really salty burger and a plain Ceasar salad that had something stringy on it. The room service always kept our room clean and organize. Needed to use the apple computer for work and the keyboard did not work. I missed a deadline report. The hotel was ok but it failed to exceed my expectations for the price that I paid.

ISA's products and services are organized by technical topic – a selection of technologies, trends, and areas of focus that are relevant to your on-the-job performance:
Intrinsic safety (IS) is a protection technique for safely operating electronic equipment in explosive environments. An intrinsically safe calibrator is therefore designed to be incapable of causing ignition in the surrounding environment, which may have flammable materials, such as gases, vapors or combustible dust in it. Intrinsically safe calibrators are designed for use in potentially explosive environments, such as oil refineries, rigs and processing plants, gas pipelines and distribution centers, petrochemical and chemical plants, as well as in pharmaceutical plants.
The ATEX and IECEx certified 2nd generation of the Beamex MC2-IS intrinsically safe multifunction calibrator is a practical tool designed for field calibration and testing in explosive environments. Compared to the 1st generation, there is a new display with an LED backlight for improved display visibility in various environments. It also has a more powerful processor and an improved battery shelf life. The appearance of the 2nd generation MC2-IS has a stronger IS unit identification. As with the previous generation, the MC2-IS has calibration capabilities for pressure, temperature and electrical signals, and it connects to almost 20 available Beamex intrinsically safe external pressure modules. It is a compact-sized, lightweight portable calibrator with a multilingual interface and a complete numerical keyboard. Calibration with the MC2-IS is fast and simple.
Summarizing the benefits of the 2nd generation MC2-IS, Heikki Laurila, product manager at Beamex, comments, "When developing the 2nd generation MC2-IS we heavily considered customer feedback. The new generation is very user friendly and robust. It provides safety for the person using it, as it is incapable of causing ignition in an explosive environment. Not only is it safe, but it also offers the functionality and performance of an industrial calibrator, as it has a wide range of calibration and configuration possibilities."
The launch of the 2nd generation MC2-IS improves Beamex's already excellent ability to serve customers operating in potentially explosive environments, as Beamex currently has yet another intrinsically safe calibrator in its range, the MC5- IS intrinsically safe multifunction calibrator.
BEAMEX is a leading, worldwide provider of calibration solutions that meet even the most demanding requirements of process instrumentation. Beamex offers a comprehensive range of products and services-everything from portable calibrators to workstations, calibration accessories, calibration software, industry-specific solutions and professional services. Through Beamex's partner network, their products and services are available in more than 60 countries. Beamex has more than 10,000 customers worldwide.

The development of efficient techniques for transforming the massive volume of remotely sensed hyperspectral data collected on a daily basis into scientific understanding is critical for space-based Earth science and planetary exploration. Although most available parallel processing strategies for hyperspectral image analysis assume homogeneity in the computing platform, heterogeneous networks of computers represent a promising cost-effective solution expected to play a major role in many on-going and planned remote sensing missions. To address the need for cost-effective parallel hyperspectral imaging algorithms, this paper develops an innovative heterogeneous parallel algorithm for spatial/spectral morphological analysis of hyperspectral image data. The algorithm has been developed using heterogeneous MPI (HeteroMPI), an extension of MPI for programming high-performance computations on heterogeneous networks of computers. Experimental results are presented and discussed in the context of a realistic application, based on hyperspectral data collected by NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory

People from the globe who desire to study overseas are welcomed by New Zealand. However, they should meet certain rules along with for their intention of studying regarding than 3 months. With this, may well also necessary acquire one of the most important requirement which will be the student visa for Nz. You must pay attention to that the new Zealand student visa applies for period of your course only even more walks . will expire as soon as your course ends.
This article will mainly deal when using the process of acquiring a functioning visa for South Korea. The steps that I will describe are exactly the same steps we followed to obtain my visa in Nigeria in February 2010. I often went a private recruiter from South Korea, but I know that the process is very similar for various other country.
Applying through lottery is just one of the easiest ways to make application for a visa. The costa rica government gives away 50,000 green card lottery visas. They are officially called Diversity Visas (DV) could be given every year under Section 203 (c) of the american Immigration Act of 1990. The prime advantage of green card lottery visa is that does n't need an US sponsor. A person get the visa, a person are work and live in USA endlessly. Furthermore, this legal document also authorizes a person to sponsor your partner and little ones. Please remember that children end up being below 21 years of aging to request the lottery.
* Bowing in China is indication of respect for seniors. If you are from London, UK and you bow together with a Chinese then it might evolve into an awkward situation. Chinese bow making a fist using their right hand and hold it on the palm of the company's left hand at the stomach level and bow slightly. Whenever you have received your China visas or Hong Kong tourist visa, you can practice this at property.
5) With regards to the when employer wants employee to begin their work. If work 台胞證 is submitted say on April 1, 2010, visa will be usually approved with start date from October 1, 2010. Employee must be willing to lose time waiting for 6 months, before employee can begin their work.
7) After you have passed above 3 steps, employee must attend Visa interview at U.S. Consulate in home country (usually). Once, visa office approves visa enter in U.S., employee then can travel to U.S.A.
It would seem that the magic BMI number to keep New Zealand officials happy is anything under 45. Plus some from the Doctors who complete the medicals go on waist sizes and in a female their waist should measure get rid of than 88cm and males should have a waist no larger than 102 cm.

|Thu, 03 May 2007 05:54:15 GMT
I was hoping you'd say - 'just run widget x!' I think we'll end up wrapping NMS in a service, with a configuration file to define which queue on the MSMQ side should talk to which queue on the AMQ side, and so on. Having researched MSMQ for most of the day today it's very sad to see that it provides very little interoperability outside the Microsoft space.

I have tried to time the market myself without much success.
Im bullish on gamestop and just stick mainly to the options, however I do own a couple hundred shares. What I do with GME and has worked well is wait sell puts (leaps) for next year and take in the premium. You can get some nice premiums at a strike price of 20, especially if falls a little bit more. Anything is possible but if you don't mind owning GME at $20 minus the premium you get its well worth it. Been doing this for 3-4 yrs now and have benefited greatly. Don't have a chart in front of me, but I believe its low in the past 5 yrs has been around $18. Maybe your bearish on the company and are going to buy puts? However you play it good luck, but I believe with GME being debt free, cash on the side and some new hardware and games coming out, it should pop back up to $28-$30 range where it belongs. Just my opinion. Good luck Mike

I just need to share my thoughts with you all this morning. I've been watching the news all morning and everything I've seen about our domestic safety is so very disturbing.
We don't have enough money to send a carrier to the Persian Gulf, we don't have enough money to train 80% of our troops, Obama wants to announce a huge draw-down of troops in Afghanistan, Obama wants to cut our nukes by 1/3 just as North Korea test a viable nuke device. China and Russia are increasing their military and nuclear power while ours is falling to dangerously low levels.
I could go on, but you get what I'm talking about. People, I fear for the future of our country and I am afraid.
Earth Cries
EC, I've been thinking about your post and I hope my answer will make sense.
There truly is nothing new under the sun. All of these things happening today have happened in some shape or form, before. I agree that it seems to be more serious today, but I keep thinking of a couple of sayings. The first, I will paraphrase. All it takes for evil to prevail, is for good people to do nothing. We know there are many people doing exactly that, nothing. I know of many who are doing a great deal. YOU are one of those people. You are not allowing the troubles at the sinkhole dissappear from view. You make us all aware, every day. MM and the rest make us aware of the happenings that could/probably will lead us to war. Every day. Many people around the world have drawn their line and are standing.
The other saying is one we had to type in class for timings. I don't think they do that anymore, but those of us that learned how to type on typewriters will remember this sentence. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Our country isn't just the government. I suggest it never was. Our country is the people. Just because the majority of the news is about sheeple, doesn't make it true. Why do you think the media only tells us about them? It's a pysop. They want us to believe there is nothing good left of our country. There is, just look around at the people you know. Are THEY worth saving? Of course they are. We have to save as many as possible.
Goodness, kindness, honor and courage have NOT dissappeared. It is and will be harder to find, but it is there. I think it's up to us to recognize it and encourage it to grow. If we watch the MSM and believe everything they tell us, they win and we fail. We can NEVER let that happen. We may never know the seeds we plant with the stand we take. People ARE watching and it's not always a bad thing. We will get weary, but we can't give up.
Texan Buckeye
Hi, TB. Yes a person has to take a stand. The time for fence-sitting is past.
There are definitely good people left and we must try to reach them just as we're doing now by posting on this forum.
I know there is a lot of really stupid, goofy stuff on here, but there is also a lot of intelligent people who post relevant issues.
I appreciate MM and the others here who keep us up to date with the Mid East news. Otherwise, we would know very little if we had to depend on the MSM.
But do watch the MSM because, as the old saying goes, "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer".

Every Day, Holy Day: 365 Days of Teachings and Practices from the Jewish Tradition of Mussar (Paperback)
Special Order
"You shall be holy," teaches the Bible. The masters of the Jewish Mussar tradition have crafted a roadmap to help people approach that lofty goal. Mussar is a system of introspective practices that can help you identify and break through the obstacles to your inherent holiness, using methods that are easy to integrate into daily life.
"Every Day, Holy Day "is an essential companion for anyone who wants to experience the life-changing gifts of Mussar. The program laid out in this book focuses on 26 traits ("middot")--such as loving-kindness, strength, generosity, compassion, honor, and equanimity--each of which takes center stage for a week of contemplation and exercises, in order to develop and refine that quality in yourself.
Alan Morinis invites you to follow the Mussar path with him for a year. It is remarkably simple, and also remarkably effective in helping you overcome negative tendencies and strengthen positive ones--and to reveal your innate holiness in the process.
About the Author
Alan Morinis is the founder and dean of the Mussar Institute. A leading contemporary interpreter of Mussar teachings and practices, he is the author of Climbing Jacob's Ladder: One Man's Journey to Rediscover a Jewish Spiritual Tradition, Everyday Holiness: The Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar, and other books.
Praise For…
"Every Day, Holy Day is about something that should concern us all: bettering ourselves spiritually."—The Chicago Jewish News
"An essential companion for anyone who wants to experience the life-changing gifts of Mussar. It is remarkably simple, and also remarkably effective in helping you overcome negative tendencies and strengthen positive ones—and to reveal your innate holiness in the process."—www.jewishgrowth.org
"Packed with ideas that are well worth pondering. Taking the time, making the effort to be intentional about reading a new page each day, repeating the phrase, even singing it, and then taking action through the daily practice, is likely to be as transformative as Morinis hopes."—Atlanta Jewish-Times

Five occupants fit inside and enjoy leather upholstery and wood interior trim. Side-impact airbags are standard for the front seats.
A satellite-based navigation system is standard on the HSE and optional on the SE. Plotting courses on both paved roads and offroad terrain, the system is capable of dropping what Land Rover calls digital bread crumbs that allow the driver to retrace the previous route. Ford recently acquired Land Rover from BMW and added the British automaker to its Premier Automotive Group, which includes Aston Martin, Jaguar, Lincoln, Mercury and Volvo.
The Range Rover uses body-on-frame construction and a ladder-type steel frame. Body panels are made of weight-saving aluminum alloy or zinc-coated steel. The rear window swings up, and the tailgate drops down. In this four-door SUV, the spare tire stores inside and underneath the cargo floor. The SE wagon has 16-inch tires, and the HSE runs on 18-inchers. The overall length and width are similar to the Land Rover Discovery Series II, but the Range Rover rides a longer wheelbase at 108.1 inches.
You expect luxury in the Range Rover, and you get it, with its aromatic leather upholstery, wood trim and roomy interior. Naturally, superior audio is part of the luxury experience. The Range Rover SE has a 300-watt Alpine unit with 12 speakers and a six-CD changer, while the HSE uses a 460-watt six-speaker system.
Under the Hood
A 222-horsepower, 4.6-liter V-8 engine teams with a four-speed-automatic transmission in all Range Rovers. Permanently engaged four-wheel drive splits power among the wheels as needed for maintaining traction and includes a Low range for crawling up and down mountains and other offroad obstacles. Four-wheel traction control is standard. The Range Rovers air suspension automatically lowers the vehicle for easier entry and exit, and it adjusts ride height to suit the vehicles speed and driving conditions. All-disc antilock brakes and side-impact airbags are standard.

The WWE Champion is not supposed to be here.
They said he was too small, a straight-edge scrapper who was about as far from the flamboyant WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels as can be, and far too much of an "internet darling" to reach the lofty heights of the title he now holds.
The No. 1 contender is not supposed to be here, either. He is a 5-foot-10 vegan in a land of red-blooded, meaty hulks, a man who wins matches with submission holds instead of bone-crunching strikes. Not exactly Hulk Hogan reincarnate, in other words.
And yet, here CM Punk and Daniel Bryan are. The important thing to realize is that it is not a rivalry born of natural animosity, like Austin vs. McMahon. It is not born of betrayal, like Hart vs. Michaels, nor does it stem from self-destructive impulse, like Triple H vs. The Undertaker.
STAMFORD, Conn. – WWE Studios and Karé Productions have announced a partnership centered around Karé's new French film, "Les Reines Du Ring" ("Queens of the Ring"), currently in production in France and being distributed by Warner Bros. Entertainment France.
"Le Reines du Ring" will utilize WWE trademarks, footage, consumer products and incorporate cameos by some of WWE's biggest stars including WWE Superstars CM Punk, The Miz and Eve. WWE Studios will receive an in-association credit on the picture and have first-look rights to distribute the picture in the United States and Canada and to re-make the film in English.
"Les Reines du Ring" stars Nathalie Baye, Andre Dussollier and Marilou Berry. The comedy/drama is directed by Jean Marc Rudnicki and produced by Antoine Rein, Fabrice Goldstein and Thomas Langmann.
"Partnering on 'Les Reines Du Ring' is another way for WWE Studios to participate in the telling of great stories in any language and continue to expand the WWE Studios brand worldwide," said WWE Studios President Michael Luisi. "When we read the heartfelt family story being told by the Academy Award winning team behind 'The Artist,' we knew as a company that we had to lend our expertise in the world of sports entertainment to make the film as authentic and engaging as possible."
The film centers around Rose, a mother looking to strengthen her bond with her estranged son who is WWE fan. Going the extra mile, the loving mother begins training to become a wrestling diva. The comedy/drama follows Rose as she finds a job in a supermarket and convinces her new cashier colleagues to join her in her journey to impress her son by becoming a Queen of the Ring.

I have a Visual Studio 2010 Professional license so Ultimate is a long way off and all I want it for is load testing for a few weeks or so.
Is there a cheaper way of getting just the load testing part of VS2010 ultimate or an alternate load testing tool with decent metrics of how the load testing is doing? I'd like to know pages/sec, page speed, database connections and less important: CPU, memory, errors.

CodeWizard for Linux
Manufacturer: ParaSoft
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Price: $2495 US (single license)
Reviewer: Ben Crowder
You're working on your latest C++ project, an infinitely cool piece of software that everyone is dying to see. Before you release, however, you want to get rid of as many bugs as possible. You know you have a certain bad habit you learned in C, the one you have to go back and fix time, after time since you keep forgetting you're writing in C++ now.
Enter CodeWizard by ParaSoft, a tool that searches through your code for violations of good C++ coding standards. Based on programming ideas from Scott Meyers' books Effective C++ and More Effective C++, CodeWizard automatically enforces thirty-five descriptive rules or "items" for effective C++ programming—standards that significantly reduce the number of errors in your code. In addition to Meyers' rules, ParaSoft has included a list of thirty-six additional items.
What kind of rules are we talking about? First of all, the items have each been given a rating according to the severity of the rule. The five ratings, from least serious to fatal, are: Informational, Possible Violation, Violation, Possible Severe Violation and Severe Violation (see Figure 1). An example of an Informational rule is item 2 under the Effective C++ list: "Prefer iostream.h to stdio.h." So, for instance, if you include stdio.h in your code, one of the warnings that will come up will explain that you shouldn't use stdio.h when coding in C++ (see Figure 2). A Possible Violation is rule #17: "Check for assignment to self in operator=." Item #22 catalogs a Violation: "Pass and return objects by reference instead of by value." A Possible Severe Violation is something like, "Don't try to return a reference when you must return an object." Severe violations can prove to be fatal to your program. Rule #10 is a good example: "Write delete if you write new." Seems obvious, of course, but you may forget it and thus cause ugly memory leaks. The items are divided into different categories, such as "Shifting from C to C++", "Memory Management" and "Inheritance and Object-Oriented Design".
Figure 2. C++ Code that Violates a Rule
CodeWizard came with some instructions on installation and basic usage. The distribution file is a tar file—it's up to you to manually copy it over from the CD and unpack it. A graphical installation program would come in handy for less experienced users (although you probably won't be using the UNIX version of CodeWizard, if you aren't familiar with a UNIX shell and basic commands). You can configure CodeWizard as either root or a regular user—both ways worked fine for me. A license is required, which must be obtained from ParaSoft. The pslic program, the ParaSoft License Manager, will give you a machine ID and a network ID, which you give to ParaSoft. In return, you'll receive an expiration date and a password which will unlock CodeWizard. I'm sure there's an easier way to manage licenses, one that doesn't require contacting ParaSoft, but this method minimizes pirating (which is, of course, a concern only for commercial software vendors—the GPL is beautiful in that it completely shatters software piracy).
You use CodeWizard in place of your compiler on the command line. Instead of typing
g++ project.c -o project
you would use
codewizard project.c -o projectYou can set the compiler for CodeWizard to use in a configuration file. CodeWizard then scans your code for any of the violations in its rule set. On a side note, you can suppress any of the rules (in case some of them make no sense when applied to your particular project), or you can add your own rules using RuleWizard (see Figure 3). There is a Motif GUI program, Insra (see Figure 4), that displays the error messages and allows you to open the source files, make any necessary changes, rebuild the program and retest the code for violations. If you want to keep everything strictly console-based, however, you can do that as well.
All in all, I'd have to say that CodeWizard can be an incredible help in C++ coding. A Java version is available as well, and with the ability to add your own rules, you could foreseeably use it for almost any other language as well. Though it is expensive, if you're serious about your C++, this would be a wise investment.Version 3.0 is due out in September.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The final table for the WPT championship has been decided. Yesterday's leader, Paul Lee, remains as the chip leader of the tournament with a massive $11,828,000 in chips.
Some of the notable eliminations included Phil Hellmuth leaving in 18th, taking home $123,670. Hellmuth explained the hand in his blog, after beating Laing in a hand with pocket Qs…
"The very next hand I picked up J-J, and made it $90,000 to go. Thomas Walhrus made it $230,000 to go, and I called. The flop was 8-6-2, and I checked. Walroos bet out $300,000, and for the first time in five days, I moved all-in. Imagine that! In five days, not only was I never called all-in, I never even moved all-in!!! Walroos insta-called, showed pocket aces, and I hit the door. It was 100% my fault. Only 20 minutes earlier I had heard that Walrous was all-in with 9h-6h, on the turn, vs. a set of nines. Walroos hit his flush to survive. This influenced me."
Jimmy Tran took 10th position and won $185,645, Tommy Vu placed 9th for $216,585, Scott Fischman was eliminated in 8th receiving $247,525. The last player to be eliminated to end the day was Thomas Wahlroos. He went all in with AsTs after Mike Wattel raised 420K pre-flop and chip leader Paul Lee had simply just called behind. Lee thought about it for a while, then called showing AdQs domainting Wahlroos. The flop came Jh8s2s giving Wahlroos a spade out, but the remaining cards were both diamonds (2 and 5) which sent him packing to the rail.
Here are the official chip counts for tomorrow's 5pm WPT Final Table at the Bellagio:
Seat 1. Kirk Morrison – 4,194,000
Seat 2. Guy Laliberte – 4,690,000
Seat 3. Carlos Mortensen – 6,501,000
Seat 4. Mike Wattel – 2,887,000
Seat 5. Paul Lee – 11,828,000
Seat 6. Tim Phan – 2,162,000
Will Paul Lee's massive lead hold up for a victory or will he be taken down by Full Tilt Pro, Carlos Mortensen. Stay tuned as we will provide an update on all the action tomorrow.

An Architect's Mark on the Landscape
By BARBARA DELATINER
Published: July 26, 1998
STONY BROOK— SOON after arriving at the Museums at Stony Brook about five years ago to become chief curator, William Ayres led members of the New York metropolitan chapter of the Victorian Society on a little tour of neighboring St. James.
Struck by the number of houses there attributed to Stanford White, Mr. Ayres decided that the museum complex should mount an exhibition about the architect and the role he played in shaping Long Island's visual landscape. He tucked the notion away in his futures file, bringing it out periodically over the years without getting the project further than a very tentative planning board.
''I knew he wanted to do the show -- he approached me about it several times -- but until last year I never had the time,'' recalled Samuel G. White, a great-grandson of Stanford White, who is also an architect. ''I'd started to work on a book, and I realized that it -- the exhibition -- would have to be now or never.''
The timing turned out to be fortuitous. A year in the making, ''Stanford White on Long Island,'' organized by Mr. Ayres, Mr. White and his wife, Elizabeth, is on view in the complex's History Museum, and Mr. White's book, ''The Houses of McKim, Mead & White,'' is to be published next month by Rizzoli.
The exhibition includes photographs, architectural drawings and plans, paintings, home furnishings, clothing and other memorabilia dealing with 22 buildings on the Island designed by White and his firm, the best-known American architects of the late 19th century. Fifteen of the private residences -- including Box Hill, Stanford White's home in St. James, where Samuel White's father, Peter, lives -- still stand, as do three churches, a schoolhouse that is now a private home and the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.
Just how many Long Island buildings were designed by White, the firm's partner in charge of most of the residential commissions, ''will never be known,'' said Samuel White. ''The firm kept good records -- bill books they were called -- and in 1978 Leland Roth published a book based on those office records. But these bill books never listed commissions under $50, and there were a number of simple house designs that were not documented.''
Mr. White said his great-grandfather was known to jot down drawings of houses for friends on anything at hand; envelopes, for example. And ''how do you count projects?'' Mr. White said. ''For instance, there was a development in Garden City with seven houses. Is that considered one or seven? Or how about accessory buildings? The Wetherill house has a gardener's cottage. Should that be one or two?''
Mr. White was particularly fascinated by one undocumented project: the house and studio in Southampton that belonged to the artist William Merritt Chase. ''There was no mention of it in the bill books,'' he said, ''but there was mention of a house built for C. L. Atterbury, a banker who was a founder of the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, and Roth surmised that Chase's house was originally Atterbury's and was just altered to add on a studio.''
To solve the mystery, Mr. White went beneath the house, crawling through sand and cobwebs under the foundation to look for seams that would indicate the studio had been added on. He found none and ''concluded that the house was indeed built, off the bill books, for Chase and could very well be the first home with an attached artist's studio ever designed.''
Given the complexity of arriving at a complete inventory of White buildings, the curators decided to concentrate on existing houses. Only two homes that no longer exist, the palatial Gilded Age mansions designed for Clarence Mackay in Roslyn and for Edwin Dennison Morgan 3d in Wheatley Hills, are included in the exhibition. One of the four St. James houses, all designed for relatives, is still occupied by White family members. (Bessie Smith White, Stanford White's wife, was one of four Smith sisters descended from the founder of Smithtown).
The involvement of the subject's family made assembling the show much easier. In addition to what Mr. Ayres called ''an embarrassment of riches'' found at the New-York Historical Society and the Avery Architectural Library at Columbia University, where the curators sifted through thousands of blueprints, photographs and other documents, they also had family artifacts.
''The Whites were just wonderful in lending us objects of a personal nature,'' Mr. Ayres said, ''that not only gave us some insight into White but showed just how remarkable he was as a decorator, how ingenious he was in putting together disparate things into the interiors of the homes he designed. He was a gifted designer as well as an architect.''
These artifacts, attributed to private collectors, include personal items like a Worth gown that belonged to Bessie Smith White and Stanford's hunting outfit, which ''came to us complete with spats and gaiters,'' Mr. Ayres said. ''But when we noticed that the spats and gaiters were a different shade of green, indicating they were never worn, we left them off to be authentic.''

officials (though we hear designers find those helpful too), the
intention of this list is to help new ballot designers become more
familiar with the domain of U.S. elections and to set expectations
about what the ballot design process might entail. "Might" is the
key word: though this list originates from a diversity of projects,
experiences will be different everywhere. Contact Design for Democracy to share your
experience and to be connected with other ballot designers. See
also: election
design tools and resources for links that offer more
information on many of the following topics.
Ballot production is managed by election officials at state,
county and local levels. Some states exert a lot of control over
election administration; some don't. Some elections include voting
questions ranging from the federal level (e.g., "Who should be
President of the United States?") to the township level ("Should
Main Street be repaved?").
Election types vary—Primary, General, Special, Runoff—and occur
throughout most years. Question types may include Vote for One,
Vote for Many, Vote Yes or No, Vote to Retain (keep in office) and
Vote via Ranked Choice. It will help if you can develop an
understanding of your local electoral process.
Ballot types include lever machine, paper for hand counting,
punch-card paper for machine counting (as used in Palm Beach in
2000), optical-scan paper for machine counting (as used for lottery
tickets and standardized tests), and direct recording electronic
(DRE), such as a touchscreen (similar to banking ATMs). Most
jurisdictions are now using optical-scan and/or DRE ballots.
Optical-scan ballots may feature ovals, boxes or arrows for
Elections must accommodate voting at polling places, by mail,
using nontraditional input methods and in languages other than
English. Voters also vary in levels of literacy, quality of vision
and learning style. As with other design challenges, designing with
all voters in mind often yields more usable ballots for mainstream
Voting systems—governing tabulation (vote counting), ballot
generation or ballot user interfaces—exert a lot of control over
what is possible (or easy) to do on a ballot. For instance, voting
systems may govern ballot dimensions, columns and spacing. Voting
systems often represent a major investment by states and counties,
and therefore do not change frequently. The level of cooperation
you have with voting system vendors and ballot printers will be a
major factor in the outcome of your design project.
Elections are governed nationally by the Help Americans Vote Act
(HAVA) 2002, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other
civil rights laws enforced by the U.S. Department of Justice. State
laws provide further governance—some dictate language that must be
included on ballots; some will go so far as to require the use of
all capital letters for referenda or candidate names (in direct
contradiction with best practice
guidelines). Voter intent laws, which govern how a voter's
marks on a ballot will be interpreted, are also critical to
understand. Local legislatures do revisit election laws, but the
cycle for change can be slow.
From printing budgets to required approvals to storage space,
laws and equipment are not the only sources of restriction on
ballot designs. Again, it will be helpful to understand current
local processes—for elections overall as well in preparing for a
particular election. (This understanding will also help you to
identify election media, other than ballots, that could benefit
from voter-centered design or that must change to support proposed
changes to ballots. Ideally, election design should be approached
In light of the unique set of constraints governing each local
ballot, you will rarely be able to apply all best-practice
specifications (e.g., type size for ballot title and other
specifications detailed in Design for Democracy's ballot and polling
place design guidelines for the EAC) to the letter. Keep in
mind the underlying usability goals and the intentions behind each
specification as you make requisite design trade-offs.
The aforementioned Design for Democracy/EAC guidelines are the
result of extensive research with voters, election officials and
experts, and are compliant with national election laws. Therefore,
they provide a good starting point for solving any number of ballot
design challenges. However, once design and instructional language
samples are adapted to meet local ballot needs, further usability
testing with voters is recommended.
As veteran ballot designer Drew Davies says, "Good design is the
easy part," and may account for about 20 percent of your project
time. For skilled information and interaction designers, the
challenges may lie in discovering key constraints up front,
developing relationships with key stakeholders, determining which
constraints are flexible on what time frames, and getting buy-in on
proposed changes. Do not be discouraged if changes must be made
incrementally—in fact, approaching ballot design with the explicit
expectation that change will come in phases may be most effective,
in both the short and long terms.

Secretariat's Meadow: The Land, the Family, the Legendby Kate Chenery Tweedy, Leeanne Ladin
View All Available Formats & Editions
Much has been written about Secretariat�s
On March 30, 1970, Secretariat drew his first breath in a little white foaling shed on a historic farm called The Meadow in Caroline County, Virginia. Three years later he would leave the nation breathless as he captured the Triple Crown, setting supersonic track records and giving a dispirited nation a new American hero.
Much has been written about Secretariat�s spectacular racing career and a major feature film by Disney about the great racehorse will soon be in theatres. However, the complete story of Secretariat�s Virginia birthplace and the Chenery family who raised and raced him has never been told...until now. Secretariat�s Meadow �The Land, The Family, The Legend is by Kate Chenery Tweedy, daughter of Penny Chenery (Tweedy) and granddaughter of Christopher T. Chenery, who founded the Thoroughbred farm in 1936.
An author and family historian, Kate Tweedy collaborated with Leeanne Meadows Ladin, a Virginia writer, to tell not only Secretariat�s story but the saga of an enduring piece of land where an �empire built on broodmares� produced an immortal son. Penny Chenery wrote the foreword to Secretariat�s Meadow and shared over 200 exclusive photos from her private collection for the 160-page pictorial history. The narrative is enriched by Kate�s vivid recollections of The Meadow as a child and her eyewitness account of the magic and the mayhem surrounding her mother and �Big Red� during the Triple Crown races in 1973. This book will appeal to horse lovers and history buffs alike.
The book website is secretariatsmeadow.com, which links to the book�s Facebook page. The authors� �Barnstorming Book Tour� blog is at secretariatsmeadowblog.wordpress.com. You can listen to author book discussions at blogtalkradio.com/freereinradio.

What People are saying about this
Meet the Author
Kate Chenery Tweedy learned to ride at The Meadow as a child and later joined the family at races in New York and Saratoga Springs. At age twenty, she was in the eye of the whirlwind surrounding Secretariat and experienced his historic Triple Crown win at her mother�s side at Belmont. She has accompanied her mother, the First Lady of Racing, in her travels across the country to keep Secretariat�s legacy alive. Kate, an erstwhile lawyer, now teacher, editor, author and family historian, spent three years researching to do justice to the story of her remarkable grandfather and mother whose horses brought the national attention to that timeless place, The Meadow. She and her husband Jerry live in Littleton, Colorado. Her two grown daughters are educators and writers as well. Leeanne Meadows Ladin has been writing and riding all her life. She learned how to ride, bareback and barefoot, on pinto ponies at her grandparents' farm in southwest Virginia. At age ten, she spent all her birthday money on �The Fireside Book of Horse Racing � A Thoroughbred Treasury.� In 1973, she sat screaming in front of the TV as Secretariat won the Belmont by 31 lengths. Leeanne later had her own horse farm, where she enjoyed trail riding with her Tennessee Walking Horses and started her business, Free Rein Writing in 2000. Leeanne is the author of four books of regional historical interest, including the award-winning "The State Fair of Virginia - More Than A Midway," which featured a chapter on The Meadow. Today Leeanne lives in a 100-year-old Victorian house in Richmond with her husband Gary, hundreds of books and an office full of Secretariat memorabilia. Wayne Dementi is a noted Richmond photographer and president of Dementi Milestone Publishing, Inc., Wayne has specialized in photographic regional histories. His 1999 coffee table book, Celebrate Richmond, with a foreword by Richmond native Tom Wolfe, has exhausted three printings and was named the best-selling regional book by a local Virginia author in 1999. Since then, Dementi Milestone Publishing has grown significantly. The more notable titles include Facts and Legends of the Hills of Richmond, which just entered its second printing, The Byrd ~ Celebrating the Byrd Theatre, which includes a foreword by David Baldacci, and St. Joseph�s Villa ~ Never Stop Believing, which includes a foreword by Tom Bliley, Virginia's Seventh District Congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives

interesting, does not focus on the horses but the people and locations involved with them. Gives a more realistic take on the operation of the racing stable than the movie Secretariat. Loved the book by William Nack and this is a good companion read, the real world of horse racing.
This book is really good. It tells about the historical background of the Meadow and how it came to be. It also talks about all the owners of the Meadow and all the different people who worked there. It also talks about different racehorses that have been bred at the Meadow and of course it talks about Secretariat and his owner, trainer, rider, groomer, and all the other people who knew and took care of him. I love this book because it told me all these different facts about the Meadow that how it came to be and other facts that you will find out when you read it. :)
This is a fabulous book with beautiful photos that capture this wonderful family's story of love, perseverance, courage, loyalty, and oh yes, this great horse! This is a must read for all those who love these magnificent creatures, who love the land and respect family history, and who know something about the horse-racing world. I knew the property and knew of the family before Secretariat was born...this book is such a treasure. Big Red.Penny Tweedy, Lucien Laurin and Eddie Sweat comprised a team that remains unmatched.
I love secretariat. He is my hero. I wish i could meet him. Ive seen the movie a million times. It is my fave movie. I would give it a 5 star rating just because i love secretariat!
This book is a must read if you like not only racing history but stories of a spectacular horse. I loved the movie and learned much about a racing legend, but this book adds all the information that the movie couldn't tell you. What a beautiful story!
The story of Secretariat from the view of the Chenery family. The Meadow where Secretariat was born, nurtured and began his career.
I loved this book, lots of photos, the inside story!
Good book, nothing like the movie. Much more detailed, brings a tear to the eye at the end. If you're into horse racing this is a good book. This is a larger size book, with colored pictures.

Tank Bot
I just started with robotics a few months ago, I started with the boe-bot and basic stamp2. A good learning platform, but I quickly found it's limitations.
So I went for the propeller, and fitted the MSR1 robot control board to the boe-bot chassis, with wheel encoders, HMC3652 compass, easybluetooth module, and ping sensor. My goal was to teach the boe bot to navigate around the living room, using dead reckoning, compass directions, and corrections made with the ping at each waypoint. And overall, it worked very well. Just enter the X and Y coordinates, and it will go there (more or less).
I wanted to build a robot that could actually do something usefull, like pickup a beer bottle, and take to the bin, and sit it down along side. This could only be achieved if the robot can determine where it is with good accuracy, probably less than 5mm.
I found the ping sensor to be very accurate and repeatable, within 1mm usually. The compass is little tricker, very jittery, I fixed most of the problem using an averaging program I wrote, but it also gives different reading at different points of the room, up to 45 degrees from one side to the other, possible due to EMF ??
Anyhow, I bought the 1/16th scale Heng -Long tank, which shoots BBS and makes smoke too, which was fun, but it seems so pointless when it can't think on its own, so within half hour of un-wrapping it, I had it in pieces, and starting moving my robot bits onto it.
The Boe-Bot chassis, with compass (attached to drinking straw), easybluetooth, ping, propeller, and wheel encoders.
The tank, with all non-esential bits removed.
The Propeller MSR1 RObot board fitted into the tank frame, with compass, easybluetooth, ping, and wheel encoders.
Wheel encoders are original boe-bot ones, just slapped together temporarily, I have some smaller ones on order
which I will fit inside the geaboxes. I hate waiting for parts !!!
Looks like a great base to
Looks like a great base to build on!! Hope to do the same later on :)
Are those threads metal or hard plastic ??
Wow ! Sounds like a very
Wow ! Sounds like a very good quality one perfect to build and expand on!
Would be perfect for an all terrain bot! But batteries must not last all that long with its size and weight.
Might want to test it off the ground first because that thing on the run would be devastating !! ;)
Hope you have fun building your bot and good luck :)
I'm also building a robot
I'm also building a robot with a R/C tank as base.
But mine is just a toy tank with a long rubber bang as threads.
Yours looks really solid.
Can't wait to see the result :)
Lots of wheels
I also started with the boe bot, but it grew using erector set parts and mattrax treads from an old r/c car. Have a prop development board but think it is a bit overkill for robots and may go with the prop proto board and just build accessories on. Is the prop SPIN easier then PBASIC? I have seen in the Parallax forum they have a program that changes the prop to PBASIC. You don't see many parallax users here and it is refreashing to see a couple now and then. Waiting for the video.
I built my own encoders
I built my own encoders using the QRD1114 IR emmiter / senser pair. Mounted inside the gearbox the work very well.

CM Punk will follow up his story in "Thor Annual" #1 with his very own ongoing series. Marvel today announced at C2E2 that the soon-to-debut UFC fighter and Chicago native will be co-writing the adventures of the Guardians of the Galaxy's most vicious member, Drax. Punk's co-writer has yet to be named.
Coming in winter 2015, "Drax" will also be the first solo series for the green-skinned Destroyer. Details on the story are currently thin, though it's said to follow Drax from "the intergalactic octagon to the far reaches of outer space." Ed McGuinness has illustrated the cover for issue #1, which you can see below, and the interior artist is expected to be named soon.
Besides the "Thor Annual," CM Punk has also turned in a tale for DC/Vertigo's "Strange Sports Stories." "Drax" marks his first full-length, continuing story.
